Capture and trial of the perps will cause an explosion of such incidents. Proliferation is inevitible and will proceed faster after someone is killed or seriously injured.

This is the beginning of the fight against fishing. The envonuts are going to try to stop fishing next. They feel they have done a great job stopping hunting. Less and less people hunt every year and they want to do the same thing for the fishies.

If I have to go fishing with 45 ...no problem.

Eco terrorist's???...we don't need no stink'in eco terrorists....

[reformedliberal]

My normally mild-mannered and law-abiding husband agrees with you. Me, too.

[farmfriend]

Rights, farms, environment ping.
Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from this list.
I don't get offended if you want to be removed.

There are enviro wackos who even believe that hiking is evil. "Evil humans" should not set foot in nature's realm since "humanity is a virus infecting the earth mother goddess Gaia." It would be just if a grizzly bear had one of these wackos for lunch.

BTT!!!!!

farmfriend probably posted you already but I wanted to make sure you saw this.

This is going to be interesting to follow as the terrorist are turning against some of their own. While the fishing guides aren't as rabid as the white water rafters and kayakers about claiming the rivers as their private domain they all have a hate for any industry that may use the same territory and have supported each other.

Those nails look like they were set using a explosive powered nail gun and then the heads were cut off...

It isn't people who do this, it's hippies.

Could be giggling stoners, but its more likely college know-it-all hippies.

[forester]

This is incredible. I shutter to think what that would do to some teenagers tubing down the river in summertime.

[forester]

college know-it-all hippies.

One of the best South Park episodes I have seen in a while...many classic lines.

"While the fishing guides aren't as rabid as the white water rafters and kayakers about claiming the rivers as their private domain they all have a hate for any industry that may use the same territory and have supported each other."

Some of the worse harrassment I have had as a fly fisher has come from the enviro white water rafters. Most kayakers wait upstream until you wave them down. I have been knocked down by the water rafters without any warning from them. They are like the concrete truck drivers who get paid per load. God help anyone who gets in their way as they head down stream.




"Those nails look like they were set using a explosive powered nail gun and then the heads were cut off..."

That is what they appear to be. Those nail guns make a lot of noise and one big enough to drive those nails in would be really loud.

Eco-terrorists are mostly anti-capitalism.

[Delphinium]

WOW!, I have never heard of this yet. Wonder how to find out more?

[KurtAZ]

No...they are the "Feesh Slappers!"

Sorry, too many Veggie Tales movies...

[KurtAZ]

No, they are probably natice Oregonians. Most of the militant groups are.

The only way to fight them is to destroy something precious to them. If they destroy a car lot of SUV's poison a river and kill all the fish. If they burn down a housing development, girdle 5000 old forest trees. Tit for tat until they lose.
